Sorry, no etymologies found.

Examples

Once we’d moved on, we eventually found ourselves pootling (Trix thought the term mincing was not quite a gay enough description for our driving style, and music choices) down the A303, and Trixy decided randomly that, owing to Sherborne having a girls’ school (where my friend Sophie went incidentally) it was obviously a perfect place to stop off for a refreshing glass of wine.

Do NOT waste time and energy in mincing word armies with those who are sent to boggle our minds and torment our â€˜spirit (s) â€ ™ because as I said, there is absolutely NO chance of changing these folks minds, they are sad but true, brain dead.

Comments

"Far different was the impression produced by the gaunt and mincing lady who followed on Mr. Mingott’s arm, in a wild dishevelment of stripes and fringes and floating scarves; and as this last apparition glided into view Archer’s heart contracted and stopped beating."- Edith Wharton, 'The Age of Innocence'.
